by Lorenzo Villoresi
Atman Xaman by Lorenzo Villoresi is a refined, aromatic tobacco fragrance with a distinct herbal and leathery character. It opens with a brisk, green-bitter matte note layered over a soft citrus and spice blend that evokes an Italian barbershop in profile, but never sweetness overwhelms. The heart centers on a dry, dusty tobacco, supported by prominent immortelle and patchouli, creating a resinous, slightly smoky foundation. As it evolves, the fragrance layers in cool vetiver and a soft, oud-like darkness that balances the dryness and gives a profound depth. The dry down reveals a subtle, warm amber and musk touch that hints at sensual richness without succumbing to cliché. The scent offers moderate projection, with a restrained sillage that lingers pleasantly through the day into night, making it suitable for autumn and winter settings. Perfume enthusiasts appreciate it for its skillful craft, evolution, and the balanced interplay of natural materials, especially the understated but decisive role of immortelle.
